Hi there I am writing for the first time. My son at birth
had surgery for malrotation and release of ladds bands. We had two
rocky years of constant cronic pain attacks. Dispite
numerous negative tests finally exploratory surgery revealed
multiable long line adhesions throughout his upper and lower bowel.
Another sugery was performed to repair this. We had over a year of pain
free and no medication was needed for constipation. Last year the
constipation came back along with staining and complaints of sore
tummies. Three weeks ago he had the tube down his nose to empty his
bowel and we could not believe his personality change and sudden energy.
Unfortunitely that did not last long as he has loaded up again. I
thought maybe he will have to look at further surgery to repair
adhesions but after reading others experiance I now know why the surgeon
says it is too dangerous. I would love to get some feed back from you
all and wondered if anyone knows what happens to the size of the
adhesions as the bowel grows larger with age?.
Also I find alot of laxative tend to create more pain and would love to
hear of some gentle but effective ones if possible. Ps we live in New
Zealand.
